Hi folks!
Updates for you today in list form, as I am feeling particularly list-y this afternoon.
I’ve gotten in the habit of meeting Laurel online around lunchtime, but she’s MIA today, so I’ll blog instead.
1) I know that the captions on my last post are wonky. I don’t care to fix them. I may at some point in time.
2) I am eating a salad today. This is eight kinds of wrong. As most of you know, I don’t consider salads “food.” Call it diabetic predjudice, but the kind of meal where I don’t have to give any insulin clearly has little to no nutritional value.
3) I found the salad in my refrigerator. There was no lunchmeat, no soup. Salad was my only option. Or a peanut butter sandwich. WHICH (no pun intended) I was not in favor of.
4) However, there are some good things about this salad. Namely: a) some sort of grain b) red onions c) hickpeas (d)id you see how I did that? And beans.
5) I’m on the fence about beans, but they are so damn good for you I feel more charitable toward them.
6) I added raisins to this salad. This is unbelievable, as I hate raisins. However, this salad needed some contrast.
7) Next weekend, I’m a-goin’ to Boston. Hooray! Why will it be so damn cold? I am shivering in anticipation.
8) Speaking of shivering, I have a cold. If you like, you may buy me things to make me feel better.
9) Speaking of buying things, Dad bought Mom an iPhone. What?! When I saw her with it, I said, “You don’t even know how to use an iPhone.” Dad said, “Are you going to take that from her, Nance?” But she sort of did.
10) I started The Artist’s Way, a course I’ve wanted to do for, um, the last two years. It is awesome and I love it. If you are an artist (and most of you are) you should do it too. It’s FUN.
11) Religious life = good. Few weeks ’til the Rite of Election at the Cathedral, and I have to write a letter recommending Henry to the Archbishop. I know the Archbishop won’t read it, but I’m going to make it a damn good letter anyway. Lent coming up. Been praying every morning, and enjoying that.
12) I got my planner from Levenger. It was a little tragic. I guess I thought that since it was from Levenger the paper would be AWESOME and I could write on it with my fountain pens, also from Levenger. However, I was horribly wrong. The paper is like all paper.
13) I have this dream of finding the perfect planner. It would have weekly dates and like 2-3 pages of blank paper per week to write LISTS as I live by LISTS. Also, a monthly calendar. I have never found this planner. Every year I look.
14) I get to plan a bridal shower! Wait, what’s a bridal shower? Oh well!
15) Well, on to the rest of my day.
16)My cat, Meriweather, greets you all.
Crunchingly yours,
Megh
A-DOR(e)-able.
I don’t think Jeff got your joke, Meg….
He’s slow that way.
Also, I don’t think I’ll be able to make our lunch date ever again: they’ve blocked Gmail on my work computer! See if I ever discuss NFP online again…
Oh my. I’m (e)cstatic about this update.
And speaking of chickpeas (which we weren’t, really), I’m in love with this: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/tyler-florence/curried-cauliflower-with-chick-peas-and-tomatoes-recipe/index.html (I use vegetable oil instead of ghee, because I really can’t be bothered to create my own ghee. Gee.)
